Cindy N. Reviews the Transformers Movies--Part Three

Taking the 50-Word Review Challenge!

The Movie: Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011)
The reviewer: Cindy N. 
Available from: Amazon

Went into this one with an attitude of “If I see BumbleBee at least once I will be happy.” Slow at first, not sure where it was going to go, nice real footage from actual news footage.  Overall better story than Revenge, which was basically a two hour fight scene between movies and I could have missed it without losing anything storyline-wise.  None of my questions from Revenge were answered.  No explanation for the absence of Mikaela; introduce a blonde and move on.  I see I have to wait a year for Transformers 4.

Cindy N. Reviews the Transformers Movies--Part Two

Taking the 50-Word Review Challenge!

The Movie: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)

WT? The questions I was left with are endless. While the story made me think, so that is why there are pyramids.  How did the Decepticons create a flesh covered bot?  Where were the scenes of my favorite car BumbleBee?  Really send him off to protect the parents during the fight scene?  Having since seen Transformers 3, I totally believe Revenge of the Fallen was made to use up scenes left on the cutting room floor from the original movie. I end this review as I started it with WT?

A story was told which was complete but left open-ended for future stories.  There is a very personal side to this movie.  I promised a dear friend of 28 years that I would watch this movie 37 days before he passed away.  I fell in love with older version of BumbleBee in the used car lot and then cried through my first viewing.  My new nickname is queen of the silent tear.   Friends made me watch it again. I laughed and cried. I have watched it three times now; still cry, but another favorite movie to watch again.

Cindy N. Reviews "Star Trek" (2009 movie)

Taking the 50-Word Challenge!

The movie: Star Trek 
The director: J.J. Abrams
The stars: Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Leonard Nimoy, Eric Bana

Star Trek Movie (2009): I saw it in Feb 2012. I feel the movie is a complete story and explained how the Romulan ship was different. It was from the future!  How that single action changed the history I grew up with. I loved and still watch reruns of the show.  Bones and Scotty were my favorite and still are. The actors brought enough of the original characters into their roles, yet made the character their own. I feel there is a new universe to boldly explore where no writer has gone before, and can’t wait for the ride to start.
